A man has been arrested from east Delhi’s Jagatpuri after his wife complained to the police that he had allegedly been raping their 15-year-old daughter for more than a year.
DCP (east) Omvir Singh said the accused was arrested on Saturday evening and had been booked for rape and under Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
Police officers said that on Saturday, the girl’s mother noticed that some money had gone missing. When the mother confronted the girl, she broke down and said she had used it to buy medicine as she was feeling unwell.
Later on, she told her mother that she had been raped by her father for over a year. The mother took her to a nearby hospital for treatment and informed the police as well.
Preliminary investigations have revealed that the accused used to work as a daily wage labourer along with his wife and 17-year-old son and stayed in Jagatpuri along with his family. The girl studies in Class IX while her brother works along with the parents.
